By Anna Italia
Here is the Preview of the Italian Serie A Week 25 - Twenty-fifth Round on Saturday February 12, and Sunday February 13, 2011. This will be a decisive week for the current Serie A leader AC Milan with 49 points because they have lost the big gap with the second place Napoli having 46 points. Here is the thing, AC Milan can lose the leadership this week! yep... you are reading right.... and you bet if they lose against Parma will be a big headache for Milan president Silvio Berlusconi and the recriminations to Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri for letting go the "once taken for granted Scudetto having a big leadership but slipping as butter."
Here is the situation. AC Milan whether they win, draw, or lose against Parma will keep the leadership even if Napoli defeat AS Roma. Goal difference is big and in the hypothesis that Milan lose and Napoli win, they both will have 49 points. Yet, goal difference in favor of AC Milan with +21 and Napoli with +16. The issue will be if Inter defeat Juventus because they will reach 47 points and with the pending game with Fiorentina to be payed on February 16 -if winning that one - they will be the new SOLE LEADERS with 50 points.... got the picture?
One thing, almost certain, is the possible relegation from AS Bari to the Serie B as of Week 24 they are still in the last position with only 14 points while the 19th place is for Cesena with 21 points and the 18th position with 22 points fro Brescia.

The clash! The match not to miss.... are we for another draw? On Week 6 Juventus managed to keep a goalless draw Inter 0-0 Juventus at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium on October 3, 2010.
On paper favorites are Inter and you bet their motivation are high. Too much at risk.... A victory for Inter might mean the preamble to take over the leadership of the Serie A if they win next week against Fiorentina and Parma defeat AC Milan. Juventus living a crisis and you might add all the excuses for their poor season being bad marketing, injuries, wrongful decisions and so on. Point is that Juventsu are down the 8th position and are 11 points behind AC Milan the leaders.
Top scorer for Juventus is forward Alessandro Matri with 13 goals, top scorer for Inter is forward Samuel Eto'o with 15 goals.

Inter this season are the one scoring the most goal up to Week 24 with 44 goals while conceding 27 goals having a positive goal difference of +17. Juventus have scored 40 while conceding 30 goals having a positive goal difference of +10. We might assume problem for both teams will be more in the defense...
It's the match with two legendary captains... two bandiera / flags... Inter captain Javier Zanetti and Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero to lead thier teams to victory.
Here is the disciplinary situation. No suspended players for Juventus, but 5 players with one yellow card: Mohamed Sissoko Simone Pepe, Fabio Grosso, Alessandro Matri, and Milos Krasic.
